Seedlings stretched a little. Overall growth seems good. Watering one per day.
Zkittlez and one of the Sticky Beast are going great.
Runtz started showing some lighter green towards the core and the growth is slightly slower than the others.
Second Sticky Beast have burnt tips (see picture).
Most likely it is an over feed or ph problem or both. Make sure the ph is around 5.5-6 (in the water and the medium) because of the high rate of coco. Go easy on the nutes this early, they can't uptake it yet and don't need it for the first 2-3 weeks. I would go 1/4 of everything you're feeding atm.
Day 9 and I'm super proud of how things are going!
Runtz stopped growing for about 3 days (d5-d8) since she showed signs of stress/deficiency. After the leaves started greening I watered twice with ph 5.9 water only and she started growing again. I will give another "flush" and I will reintegrate nutrients on a lighter dose.
Zkittlez looking very healthy and quick to grow.
The two Sticky B look really similar for now too - considering to top one in the future and see the difference!
Day 13
Runtz is really slow comparing to the others and the deficiency/lock seems to still be there even tho I adjusted my ph to 5.8 and hold on nutes for the last waterings.
Zkittlez still working very quicly and considering topping and LST in the next couple of days.
The two Sticky are growing pretty much the same and look healthy!
I started watering more (from 0.3l to 0.7l per day) since I'v been told that 60% coco requires much more water than I thought. I'm trying to promote root grow watering in circle around the plant, not touching the stem. Seems like they like it so far.
First attemp at LST. Too early? Not enough bending? Just looking for honest comments and general advice! Thank you :)
Zkittlez OG Auto from Barney's, day 14.
That's a great start TBH.
When I first tried LST I kept twisting the plant around in a spiral.
I would then pinch off the two new stems once they got three nodes high from the spiral.
So for ever node in the pinned spiral I would have 4 stalks.
7 nodes at 4 stalks each = 28 mini cola branches.
It was far from perfect but was fun.
Later on I tried doing it so the main stem of the plant was my centre point for the LST.
This tactic seems to work a bit better and all the growth is more even.
Experiment and find out what works best for you
Happy Growning!
Here we are at the early beginning of week 3.
Day 16 looks really good - the stickys and zkittlez are responding really well to nutrients and training.
Runtz is really hard to read... I'll post a question for this.
I topped one of the Sticky as an experiment seing it was very healthy.
16d Runtz auto
Yesterday I flushed her with 5.8ph water - runoff was 6.3
I grow 60% coco and 40% biobizz light mix (soil/perlite) I've been told by a grower to aim at a ph of 6 and not water until runoff due to my medium composition. Someone also said N deficiency.
Help please :(
BioBIzz light mix is comprised of Peat moss, Sphagnum peat and Perlite
add coir into that and its soilless not soil.
Using liquid nutes in soilless PH should be around 5.5-6.2 range.
Coir is also void of nutrients and if its not buffered it will rob your feed of calcium and magnesium.
I'd suggest adding in some calmg and following the feeding schedules of Sensi coco grow A and B.
all the ph fluxing could be causing some of what you are seeing right now.
Yellow from the inside out on new growth is also pointing towards signs of it needing Iron.
I'd also invest in a TDS pen. You should know your EC/PPM of your feeding solution and runoff.
Try some of these steps and see how it fares in the next week.
4th week finishing and they are growing unstoppable.
Runtz still showing deficiencies and I declare myself defeated.
Zkittlez is requiring daily adjustments in order to keep pace with LST and her growth.
The two Sticky Beasts are smelling great and growing beautifully too.
Massive stretch, suspended B52 and started Bud Candy and Sensi Coco Bloom. Mixing Sensi Coco Grow and Bloom in a 40:60 ratio.
Feeding with every watering, more or less 2.5l every 48 hrs. Zkittles is easily drinking 3.5l in 48 hrs.
Runtz is fcked up since the beginning and I gave a massive feed of 5l of water with 4ml/l and 4ml/l of Grow and Bloom both A+B.
They decreased stretching and started fattening up except Runtz which is still weird but maybe better.
Changed ratio of Grow and Bloom to 25:75. Beautiful flowers and smell. Finally I eceived some help from my girlfriend..... amazing pics babe.
I also supercropped some branches.
Very busy with personal stuff during this week so I just kept them on top of waterings and feedings. I upgraded with a wifi hygrometer and the environment could't be more stable! They look great
What can I say? The beginners mistakes started happening all together!
I was adjusting the topped sticky for some LST and she split in half suddenly. I put it back together and sealed with honey. Two days after and still all good!
